Apple has already gone through beta versions for iOS 13.0 and 13.1, and now it's time for iOS 13.2. If you want to test new features on your iPhone, install either the Developer or the Public Beta.

We're not sure when the stable version of iOS 13.2 will be available, but this will be in the fall of this year. The biggest update to come in at 13.2 is for the new line of iPhone models, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. Deep Fusion, Apple's improved algorithm that outperforms Smart HDR in image quality.

The beta version for iOS 13.2 first appeared as a beta version for developers on October 2, and the public beta version appeared only hours later. Apple is requesting beta testers to download and use pre-release iOS versions to find any bugs or issues. It's a win-win situation – Apple is getting a large safety net to fix these issues, while giving the public a chance to try out new features before they officially release it.

We strongly recommend to perform an archived backup of your iPhone before you jump to the beta. Beta programs are inherently unstable. If something goes wrong, you could lose every byte of data on your iOS device.

Compatible Devices

iOS 13 is undoubtedly an exciting move for Apple devices. The iPhone 5 s 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air, Air 2 and Mini 2 will remain on iOS 12.4.2 for the remainder of their life cycle. It was a good run and for many of these devices a record run.

iOS 13, however, splits the iPad into its own operating system called the iPadOS 13 and supports devices for the iPadOS 13, including all iPad Pro models, iPad Mini 4 and 5th generation, iPad Air 2 and 3rd generation, and iPad 5. and 6th generation. For iOS 13, the 7th Generation iPod touch and all the following iPhone models can be used:

These instructions assume that you upgrade your iPhone to iOS 13.2 iPad or iPod touch as well.

You can back up your iPhone with an iOS iOS version using iCloud or iTunes. However, we recommend that you use iTunes in macOS Mojave or Finder in macOS Catalina so that you can archive the backup. Archiving prevents macOS from overwriting your backup the next time you synchronize your iPhone.

In Mojave, after completing a backup with iTunes, select "iTunes" in the menu bar, then "Settings" and then the "Devices" tab. Find your backup in the list and right-click on it. Select "Archive". Now iTunes will save your iPhone running iOS 13.2 as a separate file. The archived backup is retained when you have it backed up and can be downloaded to your iPhone as needed.

How to do it in Catalina Similar thing happens, but open the Finder and select your iPhone from the sidebar. Then click the Manage Backups button instead of going to a preference menu. Then right-click on your last backup and click on "Archive". Be sure to use the encrypted backup option if you want to continue to use health and activity data.

You should note that this method only works while Apple is still signing iOS 12.4.1, which will not be before the end of October, if you guess. Once Apple decides to stop supporting that version, the archived backup may stop working. The only way to avoid this certainty is to secure your SHSH2 blobs. Securing your iPhone this way is a bit more complicated, but it ensures that your archived backup can withstand the sands of time. This is a common method for jailbreakers.

Method 1: Install the public beta version of iOS 13.2 (OTA)

If you are from the public beta version of iOS 12, you must remove your public beta profile for iOS 12 before proceeding. Go to Settings -> General -> Profile -> iOS 12 Beta Software Profile -> Remove Profile, enter your passcode and confirm with "Remove". If you already have the public beta version of iOS 13.0 or 13.1 and the profile is still installed, go to number 14 in the list.

Archive your backup via iTunes or Finder, if you have not already done so. [19659025] Go to beta.apple.com on your iPhone.

Tap the Sign In or Sign In option.

Enter your Apple ID and password to sign in, and follow the instructions if you have 2FA enabled.

Read and accept the Apple Beta Software Agreement, if applicable.

Go to beta.apple.com/profile to register your iPhone for the beta program, or tap the "Register iOS device" link after signing in.

Tap the "Download Profile" link in the middle of this page.

Tap "Allow" in the pop-up window to display the configuration profile and you will be notified that it has been downloaded. [19659032] Go to Settings -> General -> Profile -> iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 Beta Software Profile. If you're using a newer version of iOS, a "Profile downloaded" link will appear at the top of the Settings app's main page – tap it.

Choose Install at the top right of the detail page of the profile.

Enter the passcode of your iPhone to confirm.

Read the consent form, and then tap "Install" in the top right corner, followed by "Install" in the action flyer for confirmation.

You may be prompted to restart to apply the changes. Touch "Restart" when you see it. If you do not see it, you can start.

After switching on, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update.

Select "Download and install" and enter your passcode for verification.

When the Terms and Conditions screen appears, tap Agree and finish installing iOS 13.2 Beta as you would any other iOS update.

Method 2: Install iOS 13.2 Developer Beta 1 & Higher (OTA)

The Beta for iOS 13.2 developer has a configuration profile that makes installation and future beta versions easy. It is recommended to use this method. However, the installation methods for Mojave and Catalina are listed below if you want to update with a recovery image instead of an OTA (wireless) update.

Note: You do not need to register your device's UDID with your Apple Developer account. This is only required if you are creating apps that need testing.

Archive your backup using iTunes or Finder, if you have not already done so.

Go to developer.apple.com/download on your iPhone.

Enter your Apple ID and password to log in if you are not already logged in. Continue with step 6 in this list.

Enter the two-factor authentication code from another device if you have set up 2FA.

Select "Trusted" when prompted to trust the browser if you have not already.

Go to Settings -> General -> Profiles -> iOS 13 & iPadOS 13 Beta Software Profile. If you're using a newer version of iOS, a "Profile downloaded" link will appear at the top of the Settings app's main page – tap it.

Choose Install at the top right of the detail page of the profile.

Enter the passcode of your iPhone to confirm.

Read Form Consent and tap "Install" in the top right corner followed by "Install" in the action sheet for confirmation.

You may be prompted to reboot to apply the changes. In this case, tap on "Restart". Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

After powering up, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update to see the beta version of iOS 13.2 (or higher).

Select "Download and install" if you have not already! Download the iOS 13.2 beta and then install it like any other iOS update.

Method 3: Install the iOS 13.2 Developer Beta (Mojave Restore Image)

To install the IPSW recovery file for your iPhone model, you need to either install Xcode 11 beta latest release release of MacOS 10.14 Mojave or just use MacOS 10.15 Catalina Beta. Proceed to the next section for the latter.

Follow the instructions below for the Mojave method. Note, however, that you can skip downloading Xcode itself (more than 7 GB) and instead simply install the file mobiledevice.pkg from Xcode. It's a resource bundle hidden in Xcode content, and it's all you need to install iOS 13.2 in Mojave. If you do, open the package and install it. Then skip the following Xcode-related steps.

Note: You do not need to register your device's UDID with your Apple Developer account. This is only required if you are creating apps that need testing.

Visit developer.apple.com/download and sign in to your developer account. If two-factor authentication is enabled in your account, follow the confirmation instructions.

In the Beta Version of iOS 13.2 section, select Show All.

Download the IPSW file for the corresponding iPhone model. (Links are also listed below for convenience.)

On the Downloads Web page, select the Applications tab and load Xcode 11 "Download Beta." Xcode is a huge file, so downloading will take some time (or just download the mobiledevice.pkg file instead and continue with step 7.)

Extract the Xcode XIP File, which may take some time, and then Xcode will be installed.

Open Xcode 11 beta app and follow the on-screen instructions to install the necessary additional tools.

Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes installed, or you can look up macOS on the Update tab in the Mac App Store Find Updates "in the Help menu in iTunes. If not, you can check for updates in the Microsoft Store. However, Xcode is not available for Windows, so PC users are excluded this time. So you can stop here if you are.

If the iPhone unlocks the "Unlock Accessory Usage" message, unlock your iPhone with the Face ID, Touch ID, or Passcode to continue.

Tap Trust This Computer when prompted on your iPhone and follow the instructions on the screen to trust it. You can later relieve the computer of trust at any later time, if needed later.

Open iTunes if it's not already open.

If you're not already signed in, sign in to your Apple account in iTunes.

Select the iPhone in iTunes and make sure you are on the Summary tab.

Back up and archive them for safekeeping, if you have not already done so. Be sure to use the encrypted backup option if you want to continue to use health and activity data.

Press Option key on the Mac or Shift key on Windows, and then click "Update" or "Check for updates" in iTunes to start the process. (Note: Some users may have trouble doing this, but instead, enable the DFU mode on your iPhone, then hold down the Option key and click "Restore" if you want to iTunes.)

From In the selection window in iTunes, select the IPSW recovery image you downloaded to your computer. Then select "Open" to start the installation.

When iTunes finishes installing the image, your iPhone restarts.

Now all you have to do is follow the instructions on your iPhone to activate and set up iOS 13
